Key information

The course is mostly off-road and because of the November weather it could be very cold, wet and slippery underfoot, spikes are not recommended.

The race includes a river crossing but in the event of high water levels, in the interest of safety, runners may be directed around it.

Refreshments are available to purchase on the morning including homemade cakes and hot drinks. All proceeds from refreshments go to Beyond Dementia.

Costs

The pricing options are:

AVR member: £18

Why fundraise for us

Only 30% of our income comes from the local council and health services. We charge heavily subsidised fees for our one-to-one home support and day care, and rely on the generosity of our supporters for the rest. We need to raise £960 every day of the year.
